Not pictured, Granny B and PawPaw got Jacen money!  Grandma and Wiley got Jacen a Science Spectrum membership for the new year!

Then we ate biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast while watching Charlie Brown Christmas.  Also during the day we watched Avengers movies!
Jacen enjoyed some time playing video games on his computer and playing Xbox with Daddy!
Then that evening we got back out to look at Christmas lights because we didn't get to Wayland Baptist in time the night before to see their lights set to music!!!
Finally, before bed we read the real Christmas story!
Here is a video from the 23rd while we were riding in the helicopter looking at lights!

December 2017 Part 3 - Helicopter Christmas Light Tour, Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, and More!

12/23/17  We took a helicopter ride to see Christmas lights around Lubbock.  It was a lot of fun and a neat experience since none of us had been in a helicopter before!  The view was magnificent and the pictures don't do it justice!!!  Jacen of course wanted to sit up front with the pilot!
12/24/17 Christmas Eve!  We watched Home Alone 1 and 2, worked on the rest of his Lego Advent calendar, went to Candlelight Service at church, and drove around to look at Christmas lights!  Finally, right before bed we set out cookies and milk for Santa!
